Redmine doesn't recognize email.yml

I followed the following guide to install Redmine.

http://www.redmine.org/wiki/1/HowTo_Install_Redmine_in_Ubuntu

Except that I didn't install subversion. I'm using git, which is already installed and working with gitosis. I also used postgres.

When I go to the Email Notifications tab, it tells me that SMTP is not configured and that I need to configure SMTP in config/email.yml I don't have an email.yml.example file, so I created an email.yml file in /usr/share/redmine/config It has the same permissions as settings.yml

My email.yml is the no auth one from here.

http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/EmailConfiguration

production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: smtp.knology.net
port: 25
domain: cybersprocket.com
authentication: :none

But Redmine still says I need to configure the email.yml file. I've restarted apache2, and even the whole machine, but nothing changes.

What am I missing?

Have you installed redmine from the deb package or from source?

I have the same problem, and with a Debian package that I've created from the unstable sources (ie, 1.0.3). My email.yml looks like this:

production:
  delivery_method: :smtp
  smtp_settings:
    address: 127.0.0.1
    port: 25

I cannot even see that redmine tries to contact the email server in the first place.

Our configuration is

production:
delivery_method: :smtp
smtp_settings:
address: "mail.ourmailserver.com"
port: 25
domain: "our.com"

This works perfectly for us. May this example help you.
